CONTRABANDA

Young pemon indian girl from Canaima Venezuela. She and her two young friends were playing in the foam of Canaimas rootbeer colored lagoon. They were adorable, however very mischievious trying to soak me all the while I shot them. She is fairer than most Pemones. I learned later that is because her father or mother (I don't remember which) was white and/or vice a versa mother or father Pemon. That is why some called her contrabanda (contraband) because she had mixed blood.
